Preliminary Task - Filming

When filming we came across the issue of where to film. We had filmed a short part of prelim task in a room that wasn't occupied by a class, but as the bell went for period two we were asked to leave the room as a class was being held in there. So we had to find a new room to film in and the only other available room was the year 11 common room, this was quite noisy due to the pastoral support talking with other children and a class next door who where quite loud. Earlier in the lesson during our camera safety talk, Mr Wilson had mention the use of a sound floor so I suggested we did this so the non-diegetic sound would flow naturally through the scene rather than it sounding cut up in the different takes.

After we had changed rooms however we started to film the scene properly, redoing some shots we had previously done upstairs. Mia did most of the filming as Sam and I agreed to be in the film. However all of us did have a go at filming sections so we were all familiarised with the cameras for our final pieces. Our group worked well together, and worked collaboratively in agreeing which takes we were going to use in our final version of the task. 

Though towards the end of filming our camera started to run out of battery so the last few shots are not as polished as they could be, as we didn't have time to retake any and didn't want to risk not being able to finish our short scene. We also chose not to re-film the final shots as we didn't want to take time away from the editing stage.
